Oriented 2D block copolymer crystals exhibit sixfold order. Translational order decays algebraically, aligning with Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory for 2D crystals.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Science
  • Condensed Matter Physics

Background:

  • Block copolymers self-assemble into ordered nanostructures.
  • Understanding the structural properties of 2D crystalline phases is crucial for advanced materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the structure of oriented 2D block copolymer single crystals.
  • To determine the nature of translational order decay in these systems.

Main Methods:

  • Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray diffraction (GISAXS) was employed.
  • Line shape analysis of higher-order Bragg diffraction peaks was performed.

Main Results:

  • Long-range sixfold orientational order was observed.
